Rapid transmission, sharing, and discussion of hostile messages on social media may cause a crisis for enterprises. Therefore, responding appropriately to such messages is crucial. The message life cycle framework explains the dissemination of social media messages across four stages: emergence, amplification, saturation, and recession. The study employs this framework to a case study involving an accusation of plagiarism on the social media platform Dcard. To analyze the mechanisms driving the rise and fall of message influence throughout the message life cycle, we examine 3,907 posts related to the incident. We also conduct a textual analysis to evaluate the patterns of interaction, emotional reactions, and social media responses of users by applying MaxQDA, utilize Excel Power BI to visualize data, conduct in-depth interviews to obtain qualitative data, and employ thematic analysis to identify salient themes. Moreover, we examine the roles and behaviors of stakeholders to identify effective crisis management and response strategies at each stage of the message life cycle. This study also assesses how organizational culture and internal control systems contribute to such crisis management strategies. |
